A scientific study has resolved the eternal debate as to whether it is better to drink canned or bottled beer. And taking into account that summer is here and that cold beer is the preferred drink for millions of Spaniards, we can say that this news is not a minor thing.
According to an article published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, the researchers conducted a study to compare the taste and quality of canned and bottled beer.
In the study, they used two brands of beer, and sensory tests were carried out with more than 300 participants. The results of the study indicate that canned beer is superior to bottled beer in terms of taste and quality.
According to the researchers, this is because the can better protects the beer from light and air, which reduces oxidation and flavor deterioration. In addition, the researchers found that canned beer cools faster and stays cold longer than bottled beer.
This is because aluminum cans conduct cold more efficiently than glass bottles.
A result that has surprised everyone and that has nuances
However, the researchers point out Not all canned beers are the same. Thinner, lighter cans, often used in lower-quality beers, may not provide the same protection from light and air as stronger, higher-quality cans.
In short, science has spoken: canned beer is better than bottled beer. In addition to improving taste and quality, the can also offers practical benefits, such as increased cooling capacity and longer shelf life.
So the next time you’re in the supermarket and have to choose between a canned and a bottled beer, you know which one to choose for the best taste and quality experience. Although this editor does not fully agree, at least if we take into account Spanish beers.
